The Big and Dandy Basic LSD (acid) Questions Thread (First archived 10-31-07)

Acid can increase heart rate; it is CNS stim amongst others, and if you were feeling anxious and monitoring it, that would certainly have contributed. Do you normally have high blood pressure or any heart-related issues?
 
No, I don't have high blood pressure or any other heart related issues. Anxiety could have played a role in some of the measurements I took, but I felt pretty calm during the whole experience, so that should have played a minor role. I've tried drugs from a lot of chemical classes and this was the first time anything like this has happened to me.

Does anyone know at what bpm Tachycardia requires medical attention? I've been googling it but I can't seem to find an answer. I'm considering upping the dose slightly and checking to see if this was a one time deal or if the bpm rise with increased dosage. If the latter is the case I guess acid isn't right for me.
 
I'm going to trip on LSD for the first time ever --- alone (as none of my friends are into drugs and neither am I; I'm just curious about a few psychedelics).


What precautions should I take? What shouldn't I do?
 
I would just eat a small dose and make sure you are in a safe place, where you won’t get in trouble.
And don’t run though the dorms naked and attack girls.
 
In my apt...where there are no women. Heh.

There's no art in my apt. though. Vaulted ceilings, all without any artwork on them. One of my friends said every time he looked at the posters on the wall, the posters moved and 'came alive'.
 
If at all possible have a benzo available to calm yourself down if you start to freak out. Just having it around can make you more confident going in and thus increase your chances of having a good trip.

I don't have any benzos or any other drugs not named Cid and alcohol.

I've had 3.5 dried grams of mushrooms before (alone).
 
Oh, if you've done shrooms you're pretty much good to go on acid. Acid is less confusing but (for me) produces very little euphoria. Most people disagree with me on that last one, though. Anyway, have a good time!
 
Maybe, maybe not. A solo trip could easily turn on a dime if you start freaking out. Have some benzos available if you can. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but it's more risky (for most people) than group tripping or having a sitter.
 
I've played CS tripping, more than a few times I might add. It's alright while you're coming up or whatever, but once you're fully immersed in the experience you won't want to play. Take a walk around, go to a nice scenic place in nature, smoke some cigs or some weed... just see where it takes you.

You'll have a blast
 
i always seem to need an adventure on acid, though if none's available i'm comfortable sitting around my house. have something to do; i like to make art, though physical materials are necessary as i don't usually have the coordination or patience to use the computer. one of my roommates drops acid and reads for hours at a time, which is the weirdest goddamn thing i've ever seen. some people i know like to have something to watch, if there's nothing else to engage them; sometimes it's a tv, sometimes it's curtains on the wall.

i knew a guy who swore by booze + acid, but i dunno. seems like a waste of good acid to me, as does dosing and watching tv for eight hours.
 
Might I recommend using LSD outside, or with some friends, or while you're in some other way occupied with adventurous activities? In my experience with LSD, stimulation is necessary to really bring it out. if you just sit there in your room doing essentially nothing it can seem pretty dull. But take this with a grain of salt, as I've tripped a hell of a lot of times. if you've never tripped before, chances are your mind will come up with something to occupy your time ;)

I really want to trip with people, but none of my friends are into drugs.
Some smoke weed (I don't), one has used shrooms (as I have), one has used LSD (as I want to).

Is it worth it for me to trip on acid solo or just never trip at all? If so, what're some good solo activities?
 
^A trip alone is great is you can handle it. I find it less confsuing then in a group; less strange social interactions that could be misinterpreted. However, some people like another there with them, and in my case my girlfriend (herself a seasoned tripper) is usually somehwere in the next room, hopefully in the earthly realm. As to activites; let the acid decide. I genreally do normal things for a while, and then just sit and look and listen until I'm done.
 
I didn't get comfortable with tripping until I did it alone. It has the potential to be bad, but it depends on how much you know and get along with yourself. If something does go wrong and you think yourself into a bad place, there's no one there to help you. But likewise, at least for me, most of the negativity I've ever experienced from psychedelics came from being around other people and having to deal with social maneuverings and stuff. I have always found it easier to have meaningful and peaceful trips when I'm alone.
 
^I develop a strange form of "autism" when tripping around people, particualry mushrooms. I find that any knowledge of social interactions; facial expressions, body language, tone of voice; is all basically gone. It causes immense stress until I'm alone. Social interaction seems like a pathetic and mystifying game.
 
tripping is great with a partner, if nothing else because you're likely to hold each other in bounds a bit - important especially in public. tripping in larger groups is good if everyone's experienced; one person goes bad, though, and you risk a chain reaction, and before you know it you're all locked in separate rooms counting the hair on your arms while you wait for it to end. groups can help keep that from happening pretty well anyway, as long as they're all open and friendly with each other.

tripping alone? risky. i've had two bad times on mushrooms and one on 2ce, and all three were because i was left alone. dosage, setting, mindset, general drug strength and my personal inexperience all had a lot to do with those too.

social interaction while tripping is just a horrendously elaborate game. but like any game there's patterns and tricks and cheats (hold select, smile and nod - infinite lives!) and those make me through those tricky moments while messed up. i had to talk to bill collectors on the phone for twenty-five minutes my first time doing 2C-E.

anyway - LSD + 5-MeO-DMT. good idea? crazy? if i get a positive response i might go for this tonight. if not, maybe tomorrow.

^ Great advice.

I really like your writing style, Traditionology :). Welcome to BL.

As for your question, I find that 5-MeO-DMT tends to be devoid of content unless combined with something else, then it workes like adding rocket fuel to a bike, if you know what I mean ;),

You might want to ask Vegan - if I am not mistaken, I recall him mentioning doing this combo.
 
LSD trip without weed ?

Howdy ! Just a quick question. Has anyone here who smokes weed tripped without it ? Basically i am taking one blotter no matter what this weekend. Only problem is the green connection is dry. I have weened myself from psychological dependance, and not having it doesnt bother nearly as much as it once did.

I have never tripped without it and i am just concerned that not having it this time could be enough to initiate a bad trip under the influence. Who knows, it could give me more clarity - your opinions please ?
